Mercedes' E-Class Wagon is the smartest 7-seater in the world

Mercedes-Benz revealed Monday morning that it will be bringing its E400 4MATIC Wagon to the U.S. for the 2017 model year. This is exciting because it's not just another SUV for luxury buyers to choose from, however, it's even more interesting because the all-new E-Class on which this Wagon is based is the most connected car in the world. Brands like Tesla and Volvo are rolling out increasingly more semi-autonomous, connected cars. So is Mercedes -- but it's taking connectivity one step further. Along with one of the most robust semi-autonomous driving systems, called DRIVE PILOT (I'm not yelling, that's Mercedes' capitalized branding for the tech), the E-Class also offers Car-to-X communication.
